Way Down Yonder In New Orleans

Well, way down yonder in New Orleans in the land of the dreamy scenes

There's a garden of Eden, ah-you know what I mean



Yeah, Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs

And then you stop!

Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile?

And then you stop!

You bet your life you'll linger there a little while



Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens

Yeah, way down yonder in New Orleans

Whoo!



Way down yonder in New Orleans, whoo!, in the land of the dreamy scenes

There's a garden of Eden, you know what I mean



Well, Creole babies with flashin' eyes softly whisper with tender sighs

And then you stop!

Oh won't you give your lady fair a little smile?

And then you stop!

You bet your life you'll linger there a little while



Yeah, there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens

Well, way down yonder in New Orleans

Yeah! whoo!
